  1. Summary is incorrect by scdeimos · · Score: 1 · on Army Sent to Fight Millions of Invading Toxic Toads

    The Australian government is federal, not state. The request was made by The Hon. Mark McGowan, Environment Minister for the state government of Western Australia.

    Mr. McGowan seems to have a thing against toads, with recent news including: the WA government paying for toad sniffing dogs (June 11); supporting staff Conservation and Land Management, volunteers of Stop The Toad Foundation and Kimberley Toadbusters and the Cane Toad Working Group (23 April); praising employees of a freight DC who found a cane toad in a shipment of bananas (17 March); and starting a $500,000 community awareness campaign to fight cane toads (20 February).

  5. It's a case of natural selection by hayden · · Score: 1 · on Slashback: Cancer, Cats, ICANN

    It's nature verses Steve Irwin down here you know. Eventually we're likely to have Bilby's that feed on cattle.

  6. They can do Cartwheels too by monk.wal · · Score: 1 · on Identity Theft Victim Gets Last Laugh
    I was snorkeling in http://www.calm.wa.gov.au/national_parks/previous_ parks_month/william_bay.html William Bay (on the south coast of Western Australia) when I saw a http://www.barrierreefaustralia.com/text-only/blue _ringed_octopus_text_only.htm Blue Ring Octopus with all its legs extended cartwheeling along the sandy bottom, propelled by the swell of the ocean.

    Lots of children swim in this bay (I did swimming lessons there) so we caught it and moved it to another location.

  7. Turn it upside down and bolt seats on there by leonbrooks · · Score: 2 · on GM's Billion-Dollar Fuel-Cell Bet

    Clearance then won't be a problem. (-:

    Power is a design issue that they haven't spoken about, but if you want more volts just add more or bigger cells. As far as the actual 4WDing goes, this idea would be unbeatable. It has 4-wheel full time fully independent drive with anti-skid braking and acceleration designed in from scratch. Works just as well for a racing car as for a 4WD. Blowing up a motor 300km east-south-east of Wolfe Creek Crater is not a heart-stopping issue, since you still have 3 left. If they've been sensible and at least twinned the generation system (simplest way to get extra power for a 4WD), you could even get away with blowing up one of those, too.

    I would like to scan the design specs for the drive-by-wire stuff though.
